HELLO! Welcome to my hobby site.
Since 2020, I’ve been listing out my making themes and goals for the year. Doing so keeps me focused on making the things I love, and it’s fun to look back over the year and see what I made and what didn’t make the cut.
2021 theme
S-T-A-S-H B-U-S-T-I-N-G
It’s time to stash bust. To use the commercial and handspun yarn I’ve accumulated; to actually knit the Ravelry patterns that I’ve amassed in my library; and to make some projects from the beautiful magazines and books I’ve purchased (instead of just drooling over them).
You can find my 2020 theme & goals here.
